Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia Double Magnum - 2018 - Bolgheri DOC Rosso
Deep ruby.
In the mouth, its superb ripeness immediately impresses, as do the silky, high-gloss tannins, dense-packed yet supple. It displays significant ageing potential, but is perfectly enjoyable today.
A remarkably emphatic nose is laden with well-ripened wild red berryfruit, spice, and peppery balsam.
Each varietal and single vineyard block was vinified separately in stainless steel. The malolactic fermentation, which began in the steel tanks, was completed after the wine was racked into barriques (25% new and 75% a year old). The wine remained in barriques for about 15 months. After the first 12 months the wine was assembled, and then returned to the barriques for an additional 3 months of ageing. After bottling, the wine aged a further 6 months prior to release.
Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is the "second wine" produced by Ornellaia, following the same philosophy of the great Chateaux of Bordeaux. The first year of production was 1997, the wine having the same designation of origin, coming from the same terroir and types of grapes, from the same practices used in the vineyard, vinification processes and maturation in oak barrels as in the case of Ornellaia. Obtained in most of the younger vines of the estate, Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia can be described as a younger approach to Ornellaia wine. The complexity and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are complemented by the silky roundness of Merlot and the freshness and crunchy acidity of Petit Verdot. Each variety and each block of plots are vinified separately in stainless steel tanks for better quality control. The sorting of the grains is done manually. The maceration on the stalk lasts 10 days, and the alcoholic fermentation takes place at 26-30 degrees Celsius. Malolactic fermentation is started in stainless steel tanks and completed in small oak barrels, where maturation also occurs.
